Weekly News

Archer Glen's Principal, Mr. Tim Smith, sends out a weekly e-mail with news and information about our school and relevant information about our community. If you'd like to receive this weekly communication, please click below and enter your e-mail in the box, on the right hand side to get on the e-mailing list.

Drop-off & Pick-up Procedure

The pull through driveway, in front of Archer Glen, is for buses only during morning drop-off from 7:25 am – 8:00 am and pick-up from 1:55 pm – 2:30 pm. Please do not drive through or park in the pull through during these times.

Please be considerate of others as you pick-up or drop-off students. Do not leave your car unattended in the drop-off/pick-up line. This causes the flow of traffic to stop and the frustration of those who would like to park in the parking lot. We understand that our parking situation is not adequate for all our staff and parents to park, so, please continue to be patient and understanding as you wait to get in and out of the parking lot. Pick-up and drop-off is a perfect time to demonstrate patience, cooperation, taking turns, and following rules for your students!

FlashAlert

The Sherwood School District uses an internet-based system for delivering changes in the school schedule, such as snow closures or delayed starts. Please register to receive these messages to your home or office email and/or cell phone by text message. This is a free service. Sign onto www.FlashAlert.net and follow the online instructions to register under Washington County.

All Portland news channels will be running school closure information due to weather, also.

Remind

We have implemented a new communication tool in 2015, to connect with families with urgent news. The app is called “Remind” and will allow us to send out a text to all subscribers instantly. All information is private. A couple of years ago we had to dismiss from school early due to the threat of snow at our regular dismissal time, having this communication option would have allowed us to alert all families immediately. This will be used very sparingly. To sign up, text @archerglen to 81010.

Emergency Preparedness

Archer Glen is committed to the safety in the school environment. Fire Drills and Bus Evacuation Drills are practiced at Archer Glen annually, as is a Lock In Drill. Archer Glen will practice our Lock-In Drill with all students, staff and volunteers. A Lock-In Drill involves securing all interior and exterior doors, moving students to a place of concealment, and remaining in place until the drill concludes. If you are in the building at this time, please practice with us. Please note that there is no admittance to nor exiting from the school during this drill.

If you are around campus during one of the drills, please do not be alarmed by the increased police presence.

If you are a visitor in the building during any of our drills, we need you to participate with us; please follow the directions given by our staff. If you arrive during a drill, you will not be allowed to enter and students will not be allowed to exit until the drill concludes. Please plan ahead if you need to drop off or pick up your student during the day of a drill.
